Using their pedal response and long-distance know-how, Ridley packed as much as budget would allow into this 24-ton, high modulus carbon fibre package. Being able to withstand 24 tons of pressure per sq. cm makes for a stiff, light frame, which comes in handy when you're stomping to the finish line. An oversized downtube helps you corner precisely, and a reinforced bottom bracket shell optimizes power output for more efficient pedal strokes. Flat-sectioned seatstays and asymmetric chainstays relieve your century ride of road buzz and provide a buffer against the rutted and cobbled surfaces of a spring classic. Shimano's reliable 105 group does the majority of the heavy lifting, rounded out by Ridley's own 4ZA component line.
